Specifically, the Council supported single-family housing with <br />varying lot sizes on the Hill and Creek neighborhoods with lot sizes increasing and density <br />decreasing as development moved away from the Town Center and water resources corridor. A <br />limited amount of townhome may be acceptable in the Hill neighborhood in locations close to <br />the water resources corridor or along the eastern perimeter of the site. The City Council directed <br />staff to revise the draft TCAAP zoning to reflect the Council’s vision. <br /> <br />Two options have been drafted for City Council consideration. In both options, new definitions <br />have been created. Also, new districts have been added to the Regulating Map with <br />corresponding changes to the proposed land use table. <br /> <br />Option A – Restrictions on Housing Type <br /> <br />Under Option A, the Neighborhood District has been eliminated. New zoning districts have been <br />created: <br /> TRC – Sm MF <br /> TRC – Sm SF <br /> TRC – Med SF <br /> TRC – Lg SF <br /> <br />Definitions have been changed to prohibit twin homes in single family districts. The definition <br />for small lot single family has been revised to include all lots of less than sixty feet. Lots <br />narrower than fifty feet require a rear-loading garage, and developers have indicated that front- <br />loading garages are preferable to most home-buyers. If there is a small single-family district <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br />
